About

We couldn’t talk about ourselves without first saying a thing or two about the challenges our clients face every day. It’s their constant growth and innovation, after all, that have come to define who we are and what we do.

Whether in the Aerospace & Defense, Oil & Gas, Power Generation, or Transportation industry, our clients achieve their long-term business goals by relying daily on the integrity of details. For these heavily regulated and ever changing industries, details are the building blocks of success. And among the details is the most significant one of all: the need to manage even the smallest details without losing sight of the big picture. It’s a challenge we’ve accepted and excelled at time and again during our 180 years of experience.

Today, we’re a global network of laboratories with experts specializing in materials testing, product qualification testing and failure analysis. With a team of over 1000 scientists, engineers and technicians working in laboratories located throughout the USA and Europe, we’re a single go-to partner for quality, on-time materials technology solutions. And working one-on-one to manage project details and maximize their impact on an entire supply chain, we take customer service to an unprecedented level.

Thinking big is no small task. Our ability to understand both the complexity of project details and the clarity of project goals has made us an industry leader. Because big or small, every element is important to business.
